I want to be able to turn off my device so that the buttons are locked but have the music keep playing while off so that the screen doesn't drain the battery.
My Hermes WM6 will play music with the device off. It has the followings settings.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\ Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:1
"FastCacheReserve"=dword:8388608 (and also 800000)
"LocalCacheReserve"=dword:8388608 (and also 800000)
I've tried these settings on both the Kaiser and BA. They don't seem to work. I've heard that HTC Audio Manager solves this problem, but I don't like it.
Any Ideas on registry settings?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try CorePlayer? I'm streaming Alternative right now over 3G to my bluetooth DC800 in standby mode. (could be the ROM too though).

Playing music with Coreplayer also turns off when device is turned off. There's a registry setting somewhere but I don't know where it is.
Thanks.
I'm having the same issue. have not had this before on dutty's roms, but the new one i just flashed from Alex does it (not that its his fault, just diffrent settings.)
anyone know?
Works great for me .... I minimize it with QuickMenu or similar and press the off key on the device. WM + BT A2DP keep working. I have done no changes to the registry...
I have key 6 binded to Screen Off. So my buttons are still working, but the screen is off.
My MDA Vario III does this out of the box.
Surur
Looks like its ROM based. I've done nothing special to my ROM in this regard. Have you tried to flash a WM6.1 ROM? the improved bluetooth stack is a piece of wonder on WM6.1...
Inside the Options on Windows Media Player, look for the tab for Buttons. Right at the bottom of the list is Toggle Screen. If you assign this to the action button (or whatever) then press this during playback, the screen will turn off and the phone will ONLY respond to the direction pad to change volume or track.
I know it's not quite switched off, but to all intents and purposes it is but with music controls still enabled.
Just a thought!
I'm running Alex's latest WM6 v5 build based off of AT&T 1.61, and Windows Media player keeps playing when I press the power button on my Tilt. I have not changed any registry settings related to Windows Media Player.
It is definitively ROM related. Some do, some don't, some work with WMP and some work only with Coreplayer. I am currently using Sluth's 3.0 (WM6.1 based) and it works like a charm
I may have to try a 6.1 ROM. I want to fix this problem with the ROM I'm using because I just spent a lot of time getting everything else working perfectly.
There's got to be a registry setting for this. I've used several 6.0 ROMs which allowed the music to keep playing and some which didn't.
Thanks for all your input.
I did finally go to a 6.1 ROM. WMP still stops when the device is turned off. However, the HTC Audio Manager keeps playing when the device is turned off. That's good enough for now. I just wish someone would find the registry setting which allows WMP to keep working when turned off.
windows media and audio manager are both playing in suspended mode.
I remember a while back, in the Hermes forum, WM5 did not play in in suspended mode, but once it get upgraded to VM6, it does now. So it must be ROM dependent.
here is the only thing i added.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Preferences]
"UnattendedPlayback"=dword:0x00000001

The dword value is already 1. I am running WM6.1
Thanks for responding anyway.
Just to add to this, it's is a ROM thing. My Vario II could turn off fine with music on using the HTC Audio player (using a WM6 ROM). So I was suprised that my new Vario III could not continue playing. It's such a silly fault! But, hooray for the fixers!
I use s2u2. after suspended mode music turns off. then turn it back on and s2u2 will lock the buttons and music turns on. set s2u2 to turn off screen in 30 sec and the music will keep on playing.
i just wanted to remind u guys that streaming over the internet and playing from the memory card are different.. just to clear up on the confusion:
Usally with the kaiser, the streaming media plays in suspended mode, and the music from storage card stops in suspended mode

oh sorry I mean turn off backlight in 30 sec.
I use the following setting on the Task Manager.
/Button/ End program by tapping and holding "X"
In that that wat the screen shuts down but the application keeps running.
Hope that does not sound too simple and corny.
PS. I am using Navdi Task Manager 2_0_31261_1
Hi to all,
excuse me if I open a discussion allready post but I tried with the search function and I din't found anythings about my proble.
The last week I tried to log the GPS to geotag same photos that I was shooting.
I used VisualGPSce and all was fine untill I switched off the screen to save battery, it lost the signal till I reactivate the screen, I had the same problem with other GPS utils to log.
I'm pretty sure that before the GSP was logged with the screen off to.
I updated the radio rom, my configuration is.
[Radio ROM]1.56.70.11
udK 6.1 R1 Lizard WM6 OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0)
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

I have yet to find a solution for your GPS problems in TomTom.
This is what I do to save battery power in TomTom.
1. Turn on the safety feature (example, above 70 kph. It displays a static screen that uses much less battery power than the live moving maps do.
2. Turn down the back light.
3. Plug it into the 12v when in a vehicle.
I use NoniGPS and it is possible to have this app running in the background and switch off the screen to save battery life with a little app called Screen Switch. This app will not work with TomTom.
Hi, thanks for the answer.
I don't have the problem with TomTom but I need to screen off while logging GPS, so you solution could be ok for me, I'll try it.

http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/

in tomtom, there is a feature that you can turn off the screen.... it will dim followed by the PDA settings
Thanks to all for the hel and the answers, I tried some ways and some softwares that you suggest me and I discover that the problem is present only when I shut down the screen using the shortcut AE Button Plus, using then same function in HomeScreen PlusPlus UI the GPS don't stop to work.
Thanks again.
Ciao.
Hi @all,
i hope you can help me with my issue.
I searched very long here and at google, but i didn't find any solution for this.
My xperia is set to "turn off unit after 1 Min", and no dimming light.
Now it is so, that in 49 of 50 cases is works probably, but in 1 case, te display doesn't turn off.
Backlight runs and runs and runs, till i turn unit off manually.
When problem starts, only a softresets helps to turn it back to normal
proberties.
I didn't install any Tf3D, oder any other profil programm.
Can someone help me please?
ps, sorry for my bad english, once i was very good, but i didn't speak it very long time.
Thanks

Are there any programs which is running? any cables which are connected while it happens?
No, sometimes it happens while phoning (then it dimms, but it doesn't turn off), then sometimes after looking for Messages, then sometimes after syncing. I can't repeat this issue. I even don't know why it happens ?
Is there something i can look in the registry?
Only thin i installed is
Calender+,
Task+,
SPB Insight,
Clifford Xperia Tweak (only thin is i switched off the Threaded SMS Look),
SPB Wallet,
Sprite backup
The Rest i run from SD Card, which was pre-installed from my old unit (Kaiser).
I put it out from Kaiser, then put in in Xperia, then i rebuild the links to programm folder.
so i saved the install Progress.

You said while phoning the light dims but it doesn't turn off. perhaps 1 of your config is set to "do not turn off screen while phoning"
You mean in Xperia Tweaks?
Sorry, no it isn't set so. I wonder because i used google and searched in all languages, and no one ever had this problem ?
Is tere any Key in registry what helps you to see, what can be the problem?
I had have this problem only when i tried an new Program like SPB Shell or something like this. Some programs are disabling the option for automatic turn off in the energy management. reenabling it fixed it evertime.
Another strange issue with my X1: every night an midnight it turns on - and after 1 minute (0:01 o'clock) it turns off. oO
But i have not installed SPB Shell, other Programms that do this?

I had the same problem as well with the same program, but every thing returned back to normal once I removed that program. Thanks for the hint mcfish
My HTC pure crashes everytime I listen to music after the screen turns off. The same thing happened on both WMP and S2P. After the screen turned off, the music will keep playing for sometime and then stop. When I turn the screen on again, the program would crash and the whole phone would just freeze, not thing can be done but soft reset using the tylus. Did this happen to anyone? Anyone knows how to fix this?
This happens to me with some Kitchen ROMS, and i didn't find how to fix. The only way fix this (for me) was change the ROM.

That's the problem. My Rom is the original rom. It shouldn't have problems like this and yet it does.
same problem for me.
I've tried several different roms (also original ones) & always the same crash when I play mp3 from storage card (not from the main memory).
I've also tried several different players with no chance.
I've browsed the forum and tried the proposed solutions (pb with naming/library -> tested with only one simple song on the card).

Dont turn off the screen when playing music
leave it to turn off by it self
if it still not working
Try this one
delete everything in: My device \ Application Data \ HTC \ Audiomanager
Now it works fine.
tried out but still not working, any other ideas ?
a little more detail, it's not working neither with htc player or nitrogen or pocket music player... always the same issue, the music stop when I let the phone playing, it goes to sleep after a while & stop playing after let say 2 min. when power up again to check what happen, the player try to restart & crash
it seems not to happen with core player, but there is not screen off option so it drains the battery
Delete all the photo albums and any pictures in your music folder
and make sure to delete everything in: My device \ Application Data \ HTC \ Audiomanager
make a soft reset try again
to get a photo album in HTC music player press update photo albums
if it's still not working remove the read only from all of your music files
make sure of them

I think the reason for this is because of the windows mobile 6.5 power option. Unlike in the WM 6.1, I think when you check the option turn off the phone after x minutes, it will actually going into sleep mode and turn off other programs temporally, thats why the music player crashed. That's why my Tilt only last a day even if I didn't use it all day while my Pure can go for 2,3 or even more days. So what I did is I installed the xdaShutdown into my phone and for the sleep mode, instead of checking turn off power, I checked light out. And everytime I listen to music I uncheck the turn off power after x minutes in the power option. This may seem annoyed but it will help you until the problem is solved. Also, try using S2P, there's a option that keep the music playing even when the power is off, so you can just let the screen turn off by itself and the music will keep playing and you dont have to go to power option to uncheck the turn of power after x minutes everytime you want to listen to music. Just as long as you dont press the power button, the music will play. But it doesn't work smoothly on the Pure though since its still a beta version.
It is now working, but I don't really known why 'cos I've changed all...
FYI, I've flashed with the latest official rom, put a new µSD & copied only some of mine mp3's... but it works with all player (HTC one & 3d parties as well)
I will try with other ROMs, the old µSD and other mp3's with an experimental design to find what has blocked me for so long...
I have album pictures and I have never experienced this problem. There is an option in PocketMusic where you choose to ignore the sleep blablab thing. My device locks itself first and then screen turns off and music is still playing

tested with new energyROM still OK, no crash -> it seems to be on the µSD or on the mp3 lib.
seems to be finaly the µsd card, still working after several rom tests & when re-using the old µsd crash

Thx. Please keep me posted. I changed all of my music from .mp3 to .wma. It still crashes from time to time, but most of the time it'll work just fine. Maybe it is the microsd card. My brother uses the same phone and the same music file, but he doesn't seem to have this problem.
I installed the android2.1,the version 2010-4-22,but find a big problem that is the backlight of the keyboard is always on.The battery is also hot...I hope the developpers can solve the problems.Good wishes for you.
There's another problem.I'm using wcdma and I can't get online.
Backligth is known problem.
You need to set up data plan settings manually.

in the 3 main android build threads here, backlight is part of known problems in first post and if search function is used you will get many hits about data/3g/apn settings.
